Hi All,
I am using elastic. co to check account and billing information.
Can I make a dashboard in kibana from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) data present in account and billing info.
Please let me know if there is a way around to extract billing data from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) to kibana and build elastic,co cost analysis dashboard in kibana.

AFAIk there's no way to do this.
I would suggest contacting the Support team to make sure, and they might be able to pass this onto the product team as a feature request.

@Divyank_Mahalle Thanks for using Elastic Cloud
Actually there is an Account Billing API Here
> **[Billing Costs Analysis | Elasticsearch Service Documentation | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Billing_Costs_Analysis.html#Billing_Costs_Analysis)**
You will need to pull the data and the ingest it into your elasticsearch cluster ... yeah not so easy, I think at some point we will work on making this easier... but you can then do build a dashboard if you want.

Thanks for the Solution.
For this below GET request, I got deployment id but was unable to find organization\_id in [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) id.
- Is organisation\_id and cluster\_ID are same?
- I generate API key using for Billing API in [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) feature tab.Can I used this API key to request billing data or there is different way?
```auto
GET /api/v1/billing/costs/{organization_id}/deployments/{deployment_id}/items
```
Once organiization ID is confirmed, here is Psuedo API request looks like-
Is it correct?
```auto
curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/{<
>}/deployments/{< >}/items \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey "
```
Sorry for asking the novice questions, as I am using it for first time.
Thank you once again!

@Divyank_Mahalle No Problem
The `organization_id` should be your account id on The Account and Billing Page
With respect to the API Syntax Yes that looks correct (although there are several variations on the page I referenced) and you need to make sure you get the Deployment ID correct From the Deployments page you can either copy it from the URL or from the Copy Cluster ID link.

I've deleted that last post, you probably don't want to be publicly posting your auth key.

Thanks, Got it both organization and deployment id.
I tried running API requests on the browser to check if it's fetching data, but it showing an error message.
I guess I am missing something here.

Psuedo API request format-
```auto
https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs//deployments//items \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey "
```

I ran mine directly as documented with `curl` and I got the results
Did you follow these instructions to get the proper API key?

You should try with `curl` not in a browser.

Yes, I follow the same procedure and generate API Key.
Still getting the same error while running the using curl command in the VM/linux.
Please let me know where i am doing wrong.
```auto
$ curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/ \ -H "Authorization: ApiKey $EC_"
{"errors":[{"code":"root.unauthenticated","message":"The resource requires authentication, which was not supplied with the request"}]}curl: (6) Could not resolve host: -H; Unknown error

Don't Prefix the API KEY with the `$EC_`
Just paste in directly.
```auto
curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/ \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey "
```
OR
if you use the syntax in the docs set this before
That is an example when using an environment variable.
`export EC_API_KEY=`
then
```auto
curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/ \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey $EC_API_KEY"
```
**Also if you put it on 1 line do not include `\`**

Thank you so much API is working and I am able to get output results.
I checked with "Get costs overview for the organization" and getting correct values for current values which are billed till today for the current month.
```auto
curl -XGET https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/ \
-H "Authorization: ApiKey "
{
"costs" : {
"total" : 55.5166,
"resources" : 40.8226,
"data_transfer_and_storage" : 14.694
},
"trials" : 0.0,
"hourly_rate" : 0.1989,
"balance" : {
"available" : 0.0,
"remaining" : 0.0,
"line_items" : [
]
}
```
While I checked for "Get itemized costs for the organization" its showing different values from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) billing and showing values for 734 hours instead it showing calculate hours from 1 st aug till today.
Is it forecasting the values of resources for the next 20 days?
```auto

Yes if you look at the documentation [specifically here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/Billing_Costs_Analysis.html#ec_query_parameters_3)
#### Query parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `from` | `string` | N | A datetime for the beginning of the desired range for which to fetch costs. **Defaults to start of current month.** Note: there is currently a three-month maximum date range. |
| `to` | `string` | N | A datetime for the end of the desired range for which to fetch costs. **Defaults to end of current month.** Note: there is currently a three-month maximum date range. |
I am a little curious why the end date is not 23:59.59 on Aug 31 (I am asking internally)
Remember this is still experimental meaning this is new and can change.
I would also recommend reading the docs closely.

I got your point and referring Billing API documentation,
Now I am testing billing API for "Get costs to overview for the organization"
Config file and Output attached. Getting error of Invalid URL or root unauthenticated.
Although I search for HTTP poller authentication, got this link, but didn't get much idea how to process it in URL.
[https://discuss.elastic.co/t/http-poller-authentication-encode-token/143532](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/http-poller-authentication-encode-token/143532)
This config setting is just for testing purpose-
```auto
input{
http_poller {
type => "billing"
urls => {
url => "https://api.elastic-cloud.com/api/v1/billing/costs/-HAuthorization:ApiKey"
}
request_timeout => 60
schedule => { every => "5s"}

}
}
output {

You should open a separate thread since you now have a Logstash question.
Per the docs [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html#_example) the first example shows how to use headers
```auto
test2 => {
# Supports all options supported by ruby's Manticore HTTP client
method => get
user => "AzureDiamond"
password => "hunter2"
url => "http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health"
headers => {
Accept => "application/json"
}
}
